Perhaps an argument can be made in Changes favour. ‘Teen Star’ Justin Bieber has been locked away, out of sight, not out of mind, but certainly out of earshot With this in mind, I imagine that Bieber’s reason for being so vocally detached from his lyrics was an itching to get home to Hailey rather than sit through his recording sessions. Everybody falls in love, but not everybody makes a 16track album as an overdrawn ode to their spouse. Through the use of cliched declarations of love like “could you be here with me forever?”, he comes across as borderline obsessed. Each song is essentially Bieber reminding the listener how much he adores his wife. As harsh as that may sound, I can’t work out how Bieber could possibly justify his verbal choices. Clearly, he was distracted.įortunately, the album’s lyrics seem to hold the answer to why Bieber is so aloof. ![]() Whilst his voice is in decent shape, it lacks all passion. Maybe he didn’t want to be in the studio recording this long-anticipated comeback album. This weariness is apparent throughout the entire Changes experience as Bieber consistently sounds as though there’s somewhere he would rather be. A 50-minute experience that sounds like one long song on which the artist himself is withdrawn and bored. Thanks to this flaw, Changes makes nice background music – it’s neither particularly distracting nor captivating. Because of production and tempo being so similar on each track, each song lacks individuality. It’s hard to speak about each song on the album separately because they all audibly merge into one. Instead, he chooses to focus on only one of the recent developments in his life – his wife.Įverybody falls in love, but not everybody makes a 16 track album as an overdrawn ode to their spouse With so much having happened in his life, I expected him to explore these events on Changes. ĭuring the five years since his last album, Bieber’s on-again, off-again relationship with Selena Gomez ended, he opened up about his struggle with drug abuse, got hitched to Hailey Baldwin, and begun a battle with Lyme Disease. I’d argue that Bieber probably felt there was a lot of pressure on Changes being a success not only because of his egotistical Instagram faux pas but also because of the highs and lows his public image has had to endure since Purpose. This marketing stunt failed so terribly he instead deleted the post and waited till after the festive season to drop the album. ![]() In October 2019, Bieber teased on his Instagram account that if his post reached 20 million likes, he would release his new record before Christmas. If P urpose was Bieber’s evolution, consider Changes to be his devolution. With this in mind, I was looking forward to Changes the title suggested he would continue the evolution he began five years ago. The album marked his evolution from sickly pop poster boy into a thoughtful man and artist. Even after it, I still wasn’t a massive fan but at least had a newfound respect for him. Prior to Justin Bieber’s Purpose, I wasn’t much of a Belieber.
